When I went to Skyzone I jumped as high as I could and had fun!  I liked jumping off the walls.  I didn’t jump through the hoop because I didn’t want to get hurt and I didn’t want to get too high off the ground!  After we were done at Skyzone we all sat in front of the window and took a picture!  Then we went to Steak ‘N Shake and had lunch!  Then we came back to the temple and went home!  I LOVED it!
